Different wedding quilt

What do you think of this idea?

It's a wedding dress turned into a quilt.

Hmm.. Maybe I will do that with mine. I was thinking of selling it because I thought it would never be used again. It's been dry cleaned.

Mine has a lot of beading and sequins on the front and a frothy overlay. I'd better find a photo and ask you again.

Maybe I could put my wedding blocks in with it...

It's something to think about!!

My Official Wedding Quilt

I have been talking about my Baltimore Album WIP as though it is my Wedding quilt. That's not strictly true. I already have a Wedding quilt. It has been on our bed since our wedding day, and it is so beautiful! It was secretly made for me by my Mum and my dear friends Rosie, Sandra, Annette and Andrea (who is currently living in Germany). There was much secret posting here and there!!

I want to finish my Baltimore Album to commemorate my Wedding. I started it about 4 years ago! Trying to keep myself going with an intensive project I used Elly Sienkiewicz books from the Club library to distribute one pattern every 2 months to members of the Club. Then, I slowed down.

More to come on that.

Mum came over last night and we are off the the group Christmas in July function today. I have finished the miniature including the label (photo tomorrow).

Last night I machined together pieces of a small Christmas quilt. I thought I might machine quilt it today at the Club function, but I have changed my mind. I don't think there will be much room. I dug out my Piecemakers Barns quilt. I have already cut out all fabrics. I am going to free-machine embroider them today. What a good idea when I have a block of time at the machine!!!

Baltimore Album - My Wedding Quilt

I finished the quilting, binding and embellishing on the miniature quilt challenge ready for Saturday's "Christmas In July" reveal. Now I need to do the "label with a big impact" as directed by the Christmas Elves. I will not reveal the completed quilt until Saturday as it is supposed to be a surprise!

As I couldn't work on the label last night at our quilting group I thought about the Lucinda's Needle fabric. It is calling to me! My quilt design has space for applique blocks, I designed a lovely old-fashioned rose yesterday... Then I looked at the design I made on EQ - I need to make 12 applique blocks the same! Well, that has put me off that for a while.

I thought, if I am going to immerse myself in applique, shouldn't I finish a WIP/UFO?

I dug out my Baltimore Album blocks. I have set my deadline for the 5th January 2009 - my first wedding anniversary.

This was not the first block I made, but it does need some embroidery embellishment, so I worked on it last night and will work on it today (if I get a chance in my lunch break).

I am going to use my daily blog entry (I wonder if I will keep it up) to spur me on and finish things!!
